Responsibilities
- Design and deliver secure, scalable AI integration platforms connecting enterprise systems and powering mission-critical automation.
- Define and evolve the AI integration client ecosystem, including secure connections to external tools, data sources, and enterprise systems.

- Set technical direction for identity, authentication, authorization, and trust boundaries across integrations.
- Partner with product and engineering leaders on roadmaps, technical strategy, and durable platform capabilities.
- Lead production reliability through metrics, SLOs, SLAs, observability, resilience, incident readiness, and performance optimization.
- Raise engineering standards through architecture reviews, design standards, testing strategy, and mentorship.
Requirements
- 5+ years of software engineering experience building and operating production backend systems with TypeScript, Deno, Node.js, or Bun.
